After the inspection and inventory checks are done on the
install of XP SP2, an error message appears as "The
requested section was not present in the activation
context." I have tried both the CD and using the windows
update internet site. Any ideas?
 
I was having the same problem. After some troublehsooting with tech support,
they had me type the following command at the run line. I believe it fixes
the the registry in some way. In any event after running this command, the
error did not occur again and SP2 was installed sucessfully.

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose /areas regkeys
